Before the Affordable Care Act became law in 2010, President Obama promised Americans they could keep their healthcare plan if they liked it. But already hundreds of thousands of citizens are receiving notification that their plans are being cancelled because they don't comply with the new law, and, according to NBC News, the Obama administration has known for at least three years the cancellations were coming.

While campaigning for health care reform in 2009, Obama went out of his way to make one thing perfectly clear: if you like your current health care plan, you will be able to keep it.

On June 15, 2009, Obama said this: "We will keep this promise to the American people. If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your healthcare plan, you will be able to keep your healthcare plan. Period.

In 2012, he echoed that sentiment, saying, "If [you] already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance.

However, many are finding that not to be the case. More than 300,000 cancellation notices have been sent out in Florida, according to Kaiser Health News, and another 180,000 in California. In New Jersey, the number of cancellations tops 800,000, the Star-Ledger reports.

According to NBC News, approximately 50 to 75 percent of the 14 million Americans who buy their health insurance individually should expect to receive a cancellation letter over the next year "because their existing policies dont meet the standards mandated by the new health care law."

I hope the Obamabots enjoy their Hopey Changey Lies and Deceit that was shoved down every American’s throat by the Demokkkrats 100%. Every vote. Not a single Republican vote passed this lie. Hope they enjoy being such suckers and losers for believing the lies.

I had a feeling, I won’t claim to have known, that there was no way he was telling the truth . . . that those policies would be canceled for various reasons and excuses. By the millions.

(Going into Politic Free Zone Momma Grizzly hibernation for a while after this week, maybe forever.)

The word “Taqiyya” literally means: “Concealing, precaution, guarding. It is employed in disguising one’s beliefs, intentions, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions or strategies. In practical terms it is manifested as dissimulation, lying, deceiving, vexing and confounding with the intention of deflecting attention, foiling or pre-emptive blocking. It is currently employed in fending off and neutralising any criticism of Islam or Muslims.

Falsehoods told to prevent the denigration of Islam, to protect oneself, or to promote the cause of Islam are sanctioned in the Qur’an and Sunna, including lying under oath in testimony before a court, deceiving by making distorted statements to the media such as the claim that Islam is a religion of peace. A Muslim is even permitted to deny or denounce his faith if, in so doing, he protects or furthers the interests of Islam, so long as he remains faithful to Islam in his heart. (See endnotes)

We need to stop blaming all this evil on Obama. He’ll be gone in a couple years. We need to point out that this bill was written and forced on the American people by the Democrats and especially the elites.

(Brutal acts of commission and yawning acts of omission both strengthen the hand of the devil.)

So can we impeach this bastard yet? Isn’t willfully and knowingly harming the health/risking the lives of the people a treasonable offense? I would be very curious to see if this has happened yet or if it will: Someone being turned away in an emergency because they USE to have insurance and as a result they die. I don’t believe hospitals can do that anymore but it would bring this thing up a notch if it did, but I assume it won’t matter because the RINO party will ignore it anyway

(What do we want? Time travel. When do we want it? It's irrelevant.)

One single line in that 200 page monstrosity would have grandfathered in exiting policies, allowing everyone to legally keep them.

If they had really wanted you to be able to keep your existing policy, they would have added the dozen or so words needed to make it happen.

If there were a SINGLE republican with a spine, he or she would introduce an emergency bill to grandfather in any policy that was in effect before ACA became the law of the land and have the insurance companies reinstate these pre-existing policies if they were canceled by law since then.

Not only that, we have video of the President saying what’s in the bill and Nancy Pelosi saying “we have to pass it in order to see what’s in it”. It seems like lack of due diligence on the part of Congress and misrepresentation by the President.

I think we know now why Congress didn’t read it. They knew what was inside and wanted plausible deniability.

Wait until next year when those who have employer-provided or retiree benefit healthcare insurance find themselves getting socked with 200% or so premium increases - unless their employers tell them “Sorry, you’re on your own.”

I posted this article on my Facebook page as one way to preserve this bit of history. I’d recommend people starting to keep screen saves and articles deeply buried in external hard drives and so forth, too. This might seem like a minor incident, but it’s not. This is an expression of government muscle against the press, done in a fascist / statist / communist manner. It’s not Stalin.... it’s more like Chavez. God help us.

Things are moving fast and it is running out of defenders even on Morning Joe.

But keep in mind that first two weeks of Obamacare the shutdown and debt limit stories drama eclipsed it and a few polls even showed Obamacare gaining popularity in that period.

That was because the shutdown gave Dems the line they repeated over and over : Republicans are fighting and shutting down the government to KEEP Americans from getting health care.(Ironically the shutdown didnt affect Obamacare)

Now with the shutdown over the story has flipped 180 degrees.
